And what about India?
The history of this beer in particular is very interesting. During the early years of the eighteenth century, British colonial era on the Indies, there were a lot of troops and civilians who missed beer from their country of origin, and intended to expand markets.
The difficulty was found in the long hot journey that proved too much for the typical beers from England who were in barrels. Usually ships out in London, crossing south of Ecuador further along the coast of Africa, around the Cape of Good Hope and then crossed the Indian Ocean to reach Bombay, Calcutta and Madras. The temperature variations were enormous, and the choppy waters of southern Africa on a trip caused extremely violent. Beer does not hold up well on long journeys across the ocean, especially in times warm. Before refrigeration and pasteurization, the solution found was the alcohol and hops. Alcohol provided a hostile environment for microbes and hops prevented the growth of bacteria that cause heartburn. The result was a bitter Pale Ale, alcoholic, and foam that could withstand the challenges of travel and storage in India.

14 A - Inglés IPA:
Aroma: moderate to moderately high fruity hops, earthy is typical, although the intensity of hops is lower versions American. A soft scent of grass and dry-hopping is acceptable, but not required. Presence of caramel or roasted malt is uncommon. Low to moderate fruitiness, either from esters or hops, may be present. Some versions may have a sulfur note, although this character is not mandatory. Appearance: Color ranges from golden amber to light copper, but most are pale to medium amber orange tint. It should be clear, although unfiltered versions, dry-hopped may have a slight turbidity. Good foam you persist.
Taste: hopped, medium to high, with a moderate to marked bitterness. The flavor should be similar to the aroma (floral, earthy, fruity, and / or mild herbs). Malt flavor can be medium-low to medium high and must be perceptible, pleasant and maintain the character of hops. The malt should show English character and look like bread, biscuits, toast or caramel. Despite the substantial hop character of these beers, sufficient malt flavor, body and complexity to compensate for hops will provide the best balance. Very low levels of diacetyl are acceptable, and contributions fruit fermentation, hops add complexity. Medium dry finish, and bitterness may linger into the aftertaste but should not be harsh. If using water high in sulfates, will present a side that does not dry finish, mineral, a taste of sulfur, and a lingering bitterness. In stronger versions can be seen a clear taste of alcohol. Oak is inappropriate in this style.
Mouthfeel: soft half-light to medium body, no hop-derived astringency, although moderate to medium-high carbonation can combine leading to an overall dry sensation in the presence of malt sweetness. Some alcohol warmth may be felt strongest versions (but not all).
Overall impression: a hoppy pale ale, moderately strong, with features consistent with the use of malt, hops and yeast English. It has less character and more pronounced hoppy malt flavor than American versions.
History: built to survive the trip from England to India. Extreme temperatures and rolido vessels resulted in a highly attenuated beer upon arrival. The English pale ale derived from the India pale ale. Comments: a pale ale made from a higher density and hopping rate. Modern versions of English IPAs generally pale in comparison to their predecessors. The term "IPA" is loosely applied in commercial English beers today and has been applied (incorrectly) a percentage of alcohol beers with less than 4%. Generally have more flavor and less final hop fruitiness and / or caramel than English pale ales and bitters. The fresh versions will obviously end more hoppy flavor.
Ingredients: pale malt (well-modified and available for simple maceration). English hops. English yeast provides a fruity or mineral profile / sulfur. Refined sugar can be used in some versions. Water high in sulfates and low carbonate is essential for a pleasant bitterness, in versions such as Burton, but not all examples will exhibit the strong character to sulfate.
